4 month old Berit

Cannot believe this little peanut is 4 months old already....and has a tooth poking through too.  I even remembered to take her 4 month pics on April 2.  Yeah me!!!  So I figured I'd try to document a bit about what she's doing these days, since I don't actually get it into a baby book or anything that organized.

She is overall a really happy baby.  The only time she's unhappy is when she's hungry.  Give her some milk, and she's good to go again.  She loves to smile at everyone and we all love it when she giggles.  She is cooing a bit more and sort of talks back to us now.  Up until a week ago, she was the worlds best night sleeper.  She's been getting up once during the night now for about a week though.  At first I thought growth spurt, now I think teeth, but hopefully we can get back to sleeping through the night soon.  She loves to put everything in her mouth.  Often I pick her up from daycare and she's just chewing on a washcloth.  She does the same at home with blankets, stuffed animals, her hands, bibs, etc. Her other big thing that she does all.the.time is what we call "ab-crunches".  She will never just lay or sit still.  No matter if you lay her on the floor, your lap, her rock-and-play....she always pulls herself up. I would seriously have abs of steel if I did the insane amount of crunches this baby does ever day.

Berit's 4 month check-up went great.  No concerns.  She is almost on the growth chart for weight, but shot up a good deal since our last visit.  The dr was impressed by her head control.  I told him it's easy cuz she has such a tiny little peanut head, but he really kept going on about how great she holds it up.  I guess she's advanced at head control :-)
